One of the Australian Greens' first parliamentary priorities will be to try to overturn laws that stop the territories from legislating around euthanasia.

Greens leader Senator Bob Brown said that after ensuring there was more time to debate private member's bills in the new Parliament, he would turn his attention to euthanasia laws.

Brown wants to overturn laws that stop the ACT and Northern Territory from legislating on the contentious issue.
